I'm having trouble understaing the variant, is there any example? It might be a language barrier on my end :)

Hi Pllaguno, sure! For example, the thermo in box 7/8 could go like 1-3-4. The thermos act as region sum lines where the digits in one box add up to the digits in the other box. For the thermo starting in r4c1, it could be 2-3-4-5-6-8 because 2+3+4+5=14 and 6+8=14. Hope this helps!
I GET IT! THANKS a LOT!!
